I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to learn and work with a group of colleagues in the 2021 UVA STARTALK Chinese Teacher Academy. I have learned a variety of effective interactive teaching strategies and online tools, and have incorporated them in both online and in-person teaching practice in the fall of 2021 to achieve a better teaching effect and learning outcome. What I treasure most is the bonding and the sense of belonging that I get from the UVA STARTALK learning community, which I believe I can always rely on in the future.
